IMARC Group Publishes Guide for Coffee Bean Plant Setup in India

IMARC Group has published a detailed guide aimed at investors considering the establishment of a coffee bean manufacturing plant in India. The report outlines investment costs, manufacturing processes, and market prospects for the sector.

India is a significant coffee producer and exporter, with an estimated production of 4.03 lakh tonnes for the 2025-26 season. Coffee exports are projected to exceed USD 2 billion in 2025, supported by a growing domestic market driven by cafe culture and specialty coffee consumption.

The guide highlights varying investment scales, from specialty roasteries with costs around INR 1–4 crore annually, to large-scale instant coffee plants requiring INR 300–450 crore. Raw materials constitute the largest portion of operating expenses, with profitability dependent on sourcing and quality grading.

It covers essential aspects including processing flow, required machinery, raw material sourcing, site selection, infrastructure, detailed cost breakdowns, and regulatory approvals. The report also offers an overview of industry trends and the role of a detailed project report in guiding investment decisions.
